    The restaurant was impressive, with a welcoming environment, delicious food and quick service. The chicken was especially flavorful and even the salad - a dish I usually don’t enjoy at restaurants - was fresh and tasty. The maduros side was also excellent and the prices were very reasonable, making the meal well worth it. I’m already looking forward to returning! I couldn’t also forget to mention how delicious those hand cut French fries were….

    Pio holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite lunch restaurants in NYC. But today my aunt is eating inside with her coat on. When she asked for the heat to be turned up, she was ignored and diners are currently eating indoors, wearing their coats, hats, and scarves. No solution has been offered. It’s currently 18° in NYC 🥶❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️😰

    The bottom line is that this place offers really good Peruvian food! I went to another Pio Pio in UES that is more casual, and has cheaper prices. This location, which is going for a more fine dining vibe, charges a bit more for that even though you’re getting the same quality food. ($30 for a fish entrée struck me as about right, but spending $16 for a plate with rice and a moderate portion of beans struck me as high, especially since lots of places include at least rice with an entrée.) This place, the only Peruvian spot on the UWS, gets crowded and as a result it gets noisy, so at least for me, it’s not the kind of spot where you would want to linger after finishing your food. But hey, that’s just me. Judging from the crowds, Pio Pio is the go to spot for Peruvian food and deserves its fine reputation.

    This place is literally the best, been going to this restaurant for 7 years and I’m still not bored of the food. I usually get Salchipapa and it’s delicious, though the only complaint I have is that over here the salt tastes like beef flavoring. Some of them are okay but for some reason every time I use the salt I don’t get that salty flavor. Just meat. But overall the food, atmosphere and especially the customer service is very good. The workers there are very nice and funny, they even sing “Happy birthday” on your birthday lmao 😂 I love this place so much

    DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE EMPANADAS. Seriously. The best empanadas I’ve had in NY. Filled to the brim, well-marinated, very crispy exterior and they also added some olives to add taste to the filling. For those who know what (Singapore-style) curry puffs are, these are like the Peruvian version, and better. They offer free delivery through their website (minimum 11.99). The food was delivered much quicker than expected, and the empanadas were still very crispy after delivery.I also tried the chicken. It was good, but not the best I’ve tried. The 1/4 portion is quite small (similar to 1/4 of a spring chicken) so you might want to order 1/2.

  • Review 6 (2023-04-22 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent food and and service!I sat at the bar and the bartender Fernan was super nice and made a good White Sangria. They take good care of their guests! Definitely check this place out! Another plus was I literally waited less than 5 minutes for my food! Talk about fast, quick, and friendly service! Make sure you have their green sauce!! Peruvian food whenever I go into Manhattan is a must!!

  • Review 7 (2023-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    We order ceviche Limeño and was very tasty. Also we get the matador combo and the chicken is amazing, the best in NYC. Is a big plate with several sides perfect for sharing with friends (for 3 people or more). And we try also the maracuyá pisco and was sweet. The place is very crowded and looks really family style.

  • Review 8 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    Loved this Peruvian place. They have all the classic dishes. Everything we had was great - chicken empanadas, lomo saltado and chaufa. We walked in on a Friday evening and were able to get a table without waiting, and service was pretty efficient.

    This by far the best Pio Pio location out of all. Chickens are fresh, I mean meat off the bone type of fresh. Go here.

  • Review 10 (2024-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    Every time I visit Manhattan I dine at Pio Pio. Today was the first time there was an issue with the food. However, as soon as my wife and I brought it to the attention of our waiter, he made things right.Despite the hiccup, Pio Pio 6 remains one of my favorite spots to get a bite to eat.

    Perfection from food to service , always a great vibe here !! 😇Drinks are made to perfection by their professional mixologists 😄Staff are friendly and provide fast serviceFood is fresh and tasty 😋 try their different dipping sauces available for $$ but totally worth it 😊Music is enjoyableStreet parking 🅿️

    Favorite go to spot. Service is always quick and the food is so delicious. Some of the best chicken I’ve had in NYC. Their rice and beans are also insanely good. Never disappoints

    I was just there with visitor from foreign country Food was good until chef sent the order with a old refried tostones when I say old tasted and the was like the plantain was from previous dish and they refried and placed in our order . Disgusting!

    Solid delicious food, the soup of the day was chicken lentil and it was really good. Chicken is always delicious here, service is amazing. Highly recommended restaurant.

  • Review 17 (2022-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    This was a favorite spot for me 15yrs ago when I was in the UES. Now that I discovered this UWS location I am so happy. The chicken is just as amazing as I remembered it. The muduros are perfect. The space is much bigger than the UES location. The staff was very attentive. Will be back for sure.

  • Review 18 (2019-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great Peruvian restaurant, not expensive. For all family they served a lot of tasty food. I would recommend the rotisserie chicken marinated in mama Juanita’s, arroz chaufa, empanadas de pollo, causa de atún, jalea( this is a plate based of seafood) and you can drink sangria, black modelo beer.one fact ... they are always full so if you are very hungry go with time so you do not despair if you have a few minutes of waiting to enter or have a reservation.

  • Review 19 (2024-08-23 - Rating: 4)

    The food was good, but the fried plantains (tostones) were too dry.

  • Review 20 (2024-01-06 - Rating: 4)

    Came here for a Friday dinner, and it was great. The empanadas were perfectly crispy without being oily, and the filling and sauces were flavorful. The chicken was tender and juicy. The complimentary green sauce is as good as everyone says. Drinks are good too.

    We were in the area and decided to go to Pio Pio. The food was amazing. My wife and I left very full and very happy. The Corvina a lo Macho is amazing. We will definitely go back to Pio Pio.

  • Review 23 (2023-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent service, I love coming to this restaurant for lunch. The attention is fabulous and the Peruvian food is very rich. If you visit us in NY, be sure to go. They will love it.💖🎉

  • Review 24 (2023-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    I truly recommend this restaurant. The food has a relatively cheap price, given its astonishing quality. The staff and the waiters were extremely polite and nice at all times, and were continuously filling up our glasses with water. I strongly recommend the menu from 11 am to 4 pm, since it includes a big portion of chicken with side food (which includes several amazing choices) as well as a salad and a soda.

  • Review 25 (2022-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    The best chicken. And such a great deal . Cant beat it.

  • Review 26 (2021-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    From the empanada to the fried rice with chicken, to the awesome plantain, this Peruvian style restaurant is a must go to if youre in the City!

  • Review 27 (2024-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    The majority of the time it’s a hit. Once in a while their chicken is alright but I keep going back.They have one of the best sangrias as well lol

  • Review 28 (2024-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Best damn chicken Ive ever had. Arroz chaufa is great too.

  • Review 29 (2022-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    I was so happy to see Pio Pio survive the pandemic. This place is amazing. You must order the Matador Combo. Just look at the pictures to see everything you get. This fed three of us and was amazing. The chicken was tender. The sausage and fries were a great combination. Just amazing for the price point. Also, the sangria is great to share, though the price between a full pitcher and a half pitcher doesn’t add up (it’s cheaper to buy two halves than one full?)A must try if you find yourself near a Pio Pio. Service was great as well.

  • Review 30 (2018-09-30 - Rating: 4)

    One of the best rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had

  • Review 31 (2024-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    This place was great the chicken was perfectly cooked and the passion fruit margarita was hands down the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot I had 6 of them this day maybe to much but I definitely enjoyed them love this place definitely recommend

  • Review 32 (2024-01-22 - Rating: 4)

    Comfy place, quick service, decent food. Had the rotisserie chicken, which holds its own against the standard-bearer: Malecón on 176th. They have that green spicy sauce that is popular in lots of Spanish places, so if thats your thing, definitely drop in, you wont be disappointed.

  • Review 33 (2024-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    We went for a work dinner and I know it was quite the ordeal to manage a table of 16. The food was delicious as always, service was immaculate and they always make you feel welcome. I’ll be bringing my partner to this location next time since it’s in the neighborhood! PIOPIO is the goat 🎉

  • Review 34 (2023-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    The sangria was good, we got the half pitcher and it was enough for 3 glasses (as seen in the picture). For starters, we had the calamari (8 out of 10), I had the Salmon del Pio, which was a 9 out of 10 for me, and my wife had the seafood combination ( 9 out of 10). All the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and responsive, and the environment was clean and appealing. I would recommend to anyone that does not mind the bit above average pricing.

  • Review 35 (2018-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    The food is really good, service is good , drinks are good, price is right ,overall a good dining experience

  • Review 36 (2022-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been to half their locations so far and this one is the best I’be tried. The chicken was cooked just right so the skin was a little crispy and still had the sour bite from the marinade. The green sauce was thick and scrumptious. And my takeout was still hot and delicious even after I drove it back to Brooklyn. I always trust a restaurant that knows how to pack a takeout order, and you should too.

  • Review 37 (2024-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    Very delicious meal for a decent price. We had the combo at $64 and still ended up taking food home. Friendly staff, fast and courteous service, and a nice ambience.Also, located close to the 1,2,3 subway line.

    I invite you to visit this wonderful place, its dishes are delicious, the portions are quite large, you can share them or else order what you cannot eat to bring the wonderful attention and a charming variety. This place you can go with your family, friends, neighbors, it is really Peruvian food. I recommend

  • Review 39 (2023-03-18 - Rating: 4)

    I often order the lunch special; chicken leg, salad, with rice and beans. I love the salty, lemony salad dressing with avocado! Whoevers cooking the rice and beans is putting better flavor than previously. I dont think my taste buds have changed.... Disappointed they started charging for the avocado (used to be included), in addition to raising the price, but its still value for money. You leave full and satisfied. Yum

  • Review 40 (2023-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    I attended a networking event at this location, and let me tell you about my experience! I alongside my colleagues ABSOLUTELY enjoyed our entire night! The food was delicious, the drinks were perfect, and the service/attention to details was amazing! Would totally recommend them and hosting abilities for parties of 25ppl.

  • Review 41 (2023-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Pio Pio is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves delicious and authentic Latin American cuisine. With several locations throughout Manhattan, Pio Pio is known for its mouth-watering rotisserie chicken and beautiful rice, which are both consistently cooked to perfection.The chicken at Pio Pio is incredibly flavorful and juicy, thanks to the restaurants signature marinade and slow roasting process. The skin is crispy and golden, while the meat inside is tender and moist. The rice, which is often served alongside the chicken, is fluffy, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned.In addition to the excellent chicken and rice, Pio Pio also offers a variety of other dishes that are equally delicious. The ceviche, for example, is fresh and tangy, while the plantains are crispy and sweet. And of course, no meal at Pio Pio would be complete without trying one of their signature sauces, which range from mild and creamy to spicy and tangy.The atmosphere at Pio Pio is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and a vibrant Latin American ambiance. Whether youre grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely dinner with friends and family, Pio Pio is a great choice for anyone looking for delicious and authentic Latin American cuisine.Overall, I would highly recommend Pio Pio to anyone looking for excellent rotisserie chicken, beautiful rice, and a memorable dining experience. With its consistently delicious food, friendly staff, and vibrant atmosphere, Pio Pio is truly a gem among Manhattans many dining options.

  • Review 42 (2024-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    My friend Victor’s been treating us with Pio Pio Peruvian roast chicken take-out every time we come to NYC so to change it up we dined at UWS location on 95th and Amsterdam. The atmosphere is swankier than I aspected, staff donned in pressed all-black attire and tables draped in white linen and dimed lighting. We ordered Matador combo which comes with one whole Juanitas rotisserie chicken, plate of saffron rice with red beans, avocado salad and fried palatines with aji verde (green) sauce, to say the least we killed the Matador! You must must have their amazingly smooth yet powerful sangria, we loved it so much had 2 pitches with our meal and with all the excitement of great food and drinks I left my backpack which was safely kept and returned when I went back, what honest amazing service, gracias 🙏🏽

  • Review 43 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Rotisserie chicken has always been my go to meal when am looking to have something convenient and tasty. I first had this when I lived in the Upper West Side in the early 90s. There was a place thats was walking distance from the apartment and it was also open late so it was a delight. I previously reviewed that restaurant and have since moved higher in the UWS, though there are still a few similar places.Pio Pio is one such restaurant, advertised as An Authentic Peruvian Cuisine Pollo a la Brasca Rotisserie Chicken with our famous Aji Verde Green Sauce. Have only dined there once for dinner and then a few times have taken out. This is actually the first time I am having food delivered so hopefully, the order is still warm enough so it will not require re heating.I ordered their Juanitas Chicken, which as mentioned is rotisserie chicken which is marinated in mama Juanitas authentic recipe. It comes with 2 side sauces of Aji Verde which is a spicy Peruvian sauce made with cilantro, jalapeños, a little mayonnaise and Parmigiano. It is bold and bright, spicy and tangy and packed with fresh flavor.I also got a side dish of Maduros or more popularly known as sweet plantains. They are similar to bananas though have less sugar and similarly, are picked and shipped while green then change color to yellow then black as they ripen.So, I placed the order and the receipt mentioned it would take 43 minutes.Well, barely 20mins have passed and got buzzed that my order had arrived.Both plates were actually still hot.So, how was it? Amazingly delicious. The chicken was cooked just right and very juicy. It was not salty so perfect. The maduros were excellent as well with just a slight hint of sweetness.Rather than just putting it on a plate, decided to make a sandwich out of it, adding tomatoes, black garlic and ground pepper to the mix. It made the sandwich even more yummy. Definitely a great meal on a Friday afternoon.If ever you are in the neighborhood, check out Pio Pio. There are other branches aside from the UWS like Rego Park, Jackson Heights, UES and Brooklyn. Amazing food..

    The food was delicious...The drinks were refreshing (had a Viejo Verde, yet had pisco mojitos another time and they were lovely as well)...Ive only eaten the seafood dishes, and they were all delightfully tasty...The service was okay...the attitude appears to be, due to the price of the food, the tip will be decent anyway, so Ill just serve food, talk with my buddies, and basically ignore certain customers...The atmosphere is nothing special, yet it is a nice neighborhood place...I havent tried the hyped Peruvian chicken, but if its like the other menu choices that Ive had, its probably quite good...

  • Review 45 (2023-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    Even though theyve raised the price of the matador meal, it is still an excellent deal for a tremendous amount of food. My family gets it every time, Peruvian chicken with green sauce, salchipapas (basically hot dogs and fries), an Avocado and greens salad, rice and beans and plantains if you want them (my family opts for more salchipapas). The service is always lightning fast. We also love the chaufa (Peruvian fried rice).

    One of our favorite places to eat in NYC. Lots of options for carnivores, pescatarians and vegetarians. Love so many of the dishes here. And we love love love the spicy green sauce they give you to add to everything. Ask for extra! Terrific, friendly, knowledgeable staff. We’ve never eaten other Peruvian food, but if the rest is like this, we want more!

  • Review 50 (2021-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    The Peruvian chicken is seriously FANTASTIC especially when you add their famous green sauce! The sangria is tasty and strong!! Definitely good bang for your buck. Their ceviche options are all delicious and authentic. We’ve also tried a variety of appetizers and they’re all great.

    As soon as I steeped in I was welcomed and offered a table and just needed to confirmed the people I was with. They pay close attention which is great, I loved it. The person who was taking care of us was very aware of our need for water, drinks and whenever the table needed to be clean from empty plates. Definitely will be coming back! My favorite are first, the JALEA 😍🤤(seafood) and second is the MATADOR 🤤😍(Hispanic broil chicken)

    West side Pio Pio is much bigger than its east side branch. It also is a lot less wait for a table no matter how large the group. The food is much better cooked and served. The all male wait staff is not bad to look at either. Pleasant pick for ladys night.

  • Review 63 (2018-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    This is american style Peruvian food. At first the service was okay but when I told my server I had been to Peru, he became friendlier. Generous portions! I feel like the dishes are served family style and should be shared with the table versus given to one person. The tres leches isnt that good. The sangria was delicious.

  • Review 64 (2018-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Food was excellent and the service was A1. The entire staff checked up on us periodically and our glasses were never empty. Its been a few years since I had some Pio Pio and this positive experience reminded me what Ive been missing out on, me and my girlfriend revisited this location a couple of days after our first experience because everything was so good. Fries 🍟 were everything and the chicken 🍗 was succulent. My girlfriend ordered the rice and muduros, also excellent. Two ✌🏿 thumbs up 👍🏿 👍🏿

    Food was a little too salty maybe its what I ordered but it was still good.. employees very nice the ones I came across.. I went on a Friday around 8 and it was real busy. Not very much room your pretty much sitting like 2 inches away from other ppl I didnt like that too much i felt kind of clustered but if you dont mind tight spaces you will be fine.. tamarind mojito was delicious.

  • Review 70 (2020-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    Really great Peruvian food with authentic sauces, drinks, and platters. The roasted chicken was incredible and may very well be the best chicken I have ever had. If you are not ordering it with yucca fries instead of French fries that is just a mistake, please try them it’s delicious. Then the green sauce is a menu item for good reason. It goes well with everything and I heavily debated taking some to go. If you have never had a pisco drink before I highly recommend it. My personal favorite is the pisco sour with passion fruit (pisco con maracuyá or maracuyá sour). I also recommend the lúcuma ice cream as well it was incredibly refreshing.

I love you Sweet and Sara, you have made all my VEGAN dreams come true minus one (OPEN A STORE PLEASE)!I have encountered Sweet & Sara all over the city and really wish they would OPEN a STORE! Hey, have I convinced you enough to open a store?They were at this years 2012 Vegetarian Food Festival and I didnt move from their stand for sometime. I really like their marshmallow treats. They have all kinds, including toasted coconut, chocolate, peanut butter, etc. They also make brown rice krispy treats. All their desserts are so so good, and the best of all, it is all VEGAN.I love you Sweet & Sara. Please just open up a store already. You have a huge fan base already!

    Pio Pio 6 is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. The diverse fusion of Peru’s cuisine can truly be tasted in the dishes that this restaurant prepares. I highly recommend chicken empanadas and Lomo SaltadoMy only complaint about the restaurant itself is that it can get pretty noisy, sometimes to the extent where I can’t hear the person across from me. This is why I chose to deduct a star from its rating.

  • Review 76 (2018-03-04 - Rating: 4)

    We got the papa rellena appetizer (AMAZING), and the matador combo. The combo was HUGE, way too much food for just two of us to eat, easily could have served three, maybe four people. We took some home, and the reheated leftovers werent great (as with many foods fried or packed with oils), but the actual meal in the restaurant was SO delicious. Chicken, beans, rice, and avocado salad were fabulous. The only thing we werent a fan of were the tostones, which were pretty dry. But the papa rellena...COME ON! Gotta get it. Well be back!

    Wonderful I visit this spot because my mom resides on 96 between Columbus and Amsterdam. She is 86 years old and a fire cracker they are so accommodating and patient with her and me lol. We have been patrons since they opened and love the matador combo our favorite. The waitors and hostess are always pleasant and like I said really caring with my mom.

    The food is great. The service is quick and unobtrusive. The drinks are very good, especially the red sangria. A few of those and all is right in the world. Pastachie(?) is a great bartender.

    Great Peruvian food. Be sure to try their specialty green sauce!Go with a big group and get the Matador Combo - its good for 2-3 people and comes with a variety of sides.

  • Review 81 (2019-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Our favorite go-to chicken, ceviche, and sublime cocktails. A family place in the Peruvian style, small bar with a great bartender. Sauce aji verde on every table, Lomo Saltado on the menu, great french fries. Friendly pro staff brings me back again and again.

  • Review 82 (2019-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    A very nice experience! Amazing combo that had a nice sort of things and nice quantity. Also, a delicious ceviche! Recommended for whom is looking for comfort food!

  • Review 83 (2018-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    This place is the shiz. Amazing food and even better sangria. Extremely fast service, the food usually comes out 15 min after we order. Get the matador combo for 2 people and its plenty of food.

  • Review 84 (2018-05-09 - Rating: 4)

    We visited Pio Pio on a pleasant sunday for lunch, I love the neighborhood feeling, patrons coming to lunch after the mass. We Ordered Ceviche, empanadas de pollo and the signature chicken, can’t go wrong with them. We are a little disappointed with their Picante de Camarones this time, it’s one of my husband’s favorite dishes in town and it wasn’t as strong as usual. Nonetheless, a great spot!

  • Review 85 (2010-08-30 - Rating: 4)

    We had our wedding reception here because they had the best flan and best sangrias in the city. It has changed, but still under the same owners. The food is interesting and they still have great sangrias.

  • Review 86 (2013-06-02 - Rating: 4)

    ALL PLUS+ EXCEPT FOR ONE LITTLE ISSUE FOR THE OWNERS!Invest in some acoustical ceiling tiles. I could barely hear the server speak as the place was packed with a far too loud group of cackling women who were there for some sort of girly celebration. The noise was bounding off the ceiling like amplifier and it was annoying beyond description. I needed ear plugs for dinner and I had to use sign language a few times with my dinner partner. Yea, yea, I know it looks cool a smooth ceiling and all but seriously there are plenty of people like myself not wishing to hear every bodys conversation in ++decible amplification. It would be a deal breaker for me when it comes to good food with unbearable noise and no conversation, and good food and the possibility of having a nice conversation with my peeps. I would never take a group there if I could not enjoy hearing everyone praise the incredibly good food. So YES, the food was amazing and the sangria was intoxicating, but not a great place for a quiet romantic dinner when crowded.For under $500 Pio, you could make your money back in no time.Enjoy!

    A wonderful Peruvian place. The roast chicken is amazing, and the seafood dishes are great! Definitely going back.

  • Review 88 (2019-09-09 - Rating: 5)

    Im Peruvian, and I have to say the chicken is very good here. Love pollo a la brasa and the green sauce. Sangrias are good too.Im not sure about the rest of the menu because I havent tried it.

  • Review 89 (2015-02-09 - Rating: 4)

    I love their lunch special here! They give you way more rice and beans than some of their other locations. Such a deal for the price and it usually lasts me two days.

    Pio pio offers delicious Peruvian food and amazing drinks. Their star menu item is the Matador platter. It is enough to feed 2-3 and is really yummy. The wait staff is kind, accommodating and want to make sure that you are enjoying your Pio Pio experience.

  • Review 96 (2016-06-23 - Rating: 4)

    Wish there were more Pio Pio locations.Chicken is great.Rice & beans good.Fried yuca excellent.Maduras, youre mileage may vary. Sometimes spot-on, other days a miss.Salad is good.Everything is pretty much a delivery mechanism for their Aji Amarillo (spicy green) sauce, which is highly addictive, and of course delicious.Tip: Best for at least 4 people because everything is a la carte, and if you like a little taste of everything its too expensive split amongst just two people.

  • Review 97 (2019-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent food! The lomo saltado was juicy and well seasoned with a touch of sweetness. The corvina inca was great (but not spicy at all, even with the ají amarillo paste), with a fluffy yuca purée.

    Getting the whole chicken to go with green or garlic sauce is a winner move that you will not regret. Call ahead, and drop in and get out quick with one of the top rotisserie birds in the city.

    Great Peruvian food. Best shared with a group. Get ceviche to start, chicken to share, jalea is great as well. Very tasty, but not so cheap.

  • Review 111 (2013-03-19 - Rating: 4)

    Pio Pio is home to delicious Peruvian roasted chicken. I had a hard time finding chicken I liked as much when I was in Peru! Although there are a few around New York, this is my favorite, because the quality of the chicken is always really high. The roasted chicken is a great deal - the least expensive thing on the menu. Get it with a side of plantains (both maduros and tostones are available) and salchipapa (a mix of french fries and hot dogs that manages to be way better than either would be on its own). It can sometimes be a little loud inside, but its always a loud of the lively variety, not the deafening kind.

  • Review 112 (2023-01-24 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely order the chicken. Its the reason this place is so popular. That and the green sauce.I would say that this time, my chicken was definitely better than usual. Maybe because i came early.The lomo saltado is just ok so i probably wont order it again.

    Food was amazing especially the chaoufa rice with their signature sauce. The sangria was good as well, I just wish it had more fruits. Nonetheless the place was pack and it was hot inside i wish they had a stronger AC system or better working fans which was a distraction and made it difficult to enjoy my delicious meal. Otherwise this place is a must!
